12th Sept 2007

Water temperature good, level, low to so-so, sufficient for fish.

According to reports from down river, Country Haven - Reel Reports - Smoker Brook & Wilson's there are some fish in the lower stretches of the river which are described as moving up.

If fish are moving it must be at night, the water level is low enough so we would normally see them during the day either holding or moving plus Sept. has always produced an Ariel display which has yet to materialize, I'm more of a mind to say that the main fall run has yet to come in.

The tidal camps are reporting some success using flies such as the - Almost, General Practitioner, LT Special and Eco Beach Green Machine.

Check Doug Underhill's Sept. 6th Report - there is one report of good fishing above Boiestown, however this is not consistent with my sources all the way to Clearwater - there are some in-the-river fish with very little movement and I concur that the fall salmon run has yet to come in. We are also not seeing any fall trout, usually trout are dropping out of the brooks as the river cools and the main river is definitely cool enough ?
